Introduction
This document provides an overview of the switch virtual interface (SVI) for Cisco® Integrated Services Routers.
Cisco offers different flavors of integrated switching modules for the modular Cisco 3900, 3800, 2900, 2800, 1900 and 1800 Series Integrated Services Routers: the Cisco 4- and 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Enhanced High-Speed WAN Interface Cards (EHWICs), 16- and 36-port Cisco EtherSwitch® modules, the Cisco EtherSwitch 4- and 9-port high-speed WAN interface cards (HWICs), the Cisco EtherSwitch service modules, and the Enhanced Cisco EtherSwitch service modules. In addition, the Cisco 1800 and 890 Series fixed-configuration Integrated Services Routers are integrated with an 8-port switch. The Cisco 880, 870, 860 and 850 Series Integrated Services Routers are integrated with a 4-port switch.
The integrated switch ports for the fixed-configuration Integrated Services Routers and the switch ports on the HWICs/EHWICs do not natively support Layer 3 addresses or Layer 3 features. They must be assigned to a SVI and use a VLAN interface for Layer 3 features. SVI represents a logical Layer 3 interface on a switch. In addition to basic routing, SVI can be used to support additional features for the network that the SVI represents.
Table 1 lists the Cisco IOS® Software features supported by SVI and summarized the typical use of these features. Please refer to the Feature Navigator Tool to check whether a specific platform supports a specific feature.
Table 1. Cisco IOS Software Features Supported by SVI
* Transparent Firewall is only supported between a VLAN and WAN interfaces. It's not supported between 2 or more VLANs. Please refer to CSCse92575.
Conclusion
SVI on Cisco Integrated Services Routers is designed to provide basic Layer 3 functions for the Layer 2 switch ports that belong to a specific VLAN. The SVI does not provide the same feature set and functions as the integrated Layer 3 Ethernet ports of the integrated services routers and should not be used to entirely replace the Layer 3 Ethernet ports. Customer who need additional Layer 3 Ethernet ports for their Integrated Services Routers may consider the use of 1- and 2-Port Fast Ethernet High-Speed WIC for modular ISR platforms. The guidelines presented in this document summarize feature support considerations for an Integrated Services Router deployment that uses SVIs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) is installed on this device.
This feature requires the one-time use of the username "cisco" with the password "cisco". The default username and password have a privilege level of 15.
Please change these publicly known initial credentials using SDM or the IOS CLI.
Here are the Cisco IOS commands.
username <myuser> privilege 15 secret 0 <mypassword>
no username cisco
Replace <myuser> and <mypassword> with the username and password you want to use.
For more information about SDM please follow the instructions in the QUICK START
GUIDE for your router or go to http://www.cisco.com/go/sdm
